June 30 (UPI) -- NASA plans to launch its live-streamed programming on Netflix -- featuring rocket liftoffs, astronaut spacewalks and live views of Earth from the International Space Station -- to the "broadest possible audience," starting this summer, the space agency announced Monday.
Through Netflix, NASA+ could expand the space agency's reach to a global audience of more than 700 million viewers. NASA+ will continue to be available for free through the space agency's website and through the NASA app.
"The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience," said Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+ at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.
"Together, we're committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration -- inspiring new generations -- right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone," Sirmons added.
